ECIH certification prep

EC-Council's incident handling credential — the advanced, capstone cert in their Incident Handling & Response track, after CND and CEH.

Why ECIH matters

ECIH certifies the full incident response lifecycle across every major incident type: malware, email, network, application, cloud, insider threat, and endpoint incidents, each covered through preparation, detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and best practices. It's the credential for the analyst who owns incident response itself — not just detection or forensics in isolation — and it pairs naturally with CND (defense) and CHFI (post-incident forensics) for a complete blue-team skill set.
